Field Operations Overview
Our commitment to providing efficient and effective police services comes only second to ensuring open-two way communications between our Police Department and those we have sworn to Protect and Serve. Our ability to maintain your trust and cooperation is the cornerstone of our success.
The uniformed members of the Patrol Services Division actively patrol and respond to calls for service throughout the city. The officers are responsible for the preliminary investigation of crimes and are primarily responsible for the majority of all arrests. The Patrol Division is comprised of two commands: North Command and South Command. Each command is supervised by a Lieutenant and the day to day supervision of the individual squad is conducted by Sergeants.
The entire city is divided into four sectors: Adam, Baker, Charlie, and David. Officers are geographically deployed and their assignment is to a specific area of town, for a designated amount of time, thus allowing the officers and the residents to become familiar with each other and it makes for a greater sense of personal accountability of the officers for their respective areas.
This division is also responsible for the safe movement of vehicles and people throughout the City.
Each command has a number of traffic officers assigned to day and night watches. Traffic Officers are responsible for accident investigations, traffic enforcement, and public education.
The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) specializes in follow-up investigation, interviewing and interrogation, crime scene processing and vice and narcotics activity. The members of CID regularly demonstrate their commitment and dedication to the members of our community by tireless efforts to thoroughly investigate and assist in the successful prosecution of criminal offenders.
